“…The item mean score for the CNSS among Chinese community nurses ( N = 969) was 2.17. This was much lower than initially reported by developers of the instrument (M = 2.49; M = 2.78) (Gray‐Toft & Anderson, ; Li & Liu, ) or by a more recent report (M = 2.40, SD = .76; M = 3.11, SD = .68) (Li et al, ; Qi et al, ). The reason for this difference might be the previous studies focused on hospital nurses, who have to work three shifts in rotation and face the challenges of major diseases and death.…”

“…Most of these studies focused on clinical settings. Clinical nurses' job stress includes medical technology, heavy workload, the working environment, managerial problems, lack of respect from patients, effort‐reward imbalance, dealing with death and dying, sharply increasing numbers of patients, less career promotion opportunities, treatment uncertainties, and conflict with physicians (Qi et al, ; Xie, Wang, & Chen, ; Zeng, ). Nurses working in different settings experienced different stresses.…”

Aim China is reforming its health care system, which aimed to strengthen primary health care through building community health centers (stations) and assigning a “gate‐keeper” role to primary care providers. Community nurses play a key role in the reform. Little is known about the level of job stress among community nurses. Thus, this study aims to explore the level of perceived job stress and its influencing factors among community nurses. Method A cross‐sectional design was used to conduct a survey with 1015 nurses from 56 community health centers in Sichuan province. Job stress was measured by the Community Nurses Stress Scale. Data were collected between March and November 2015. Results Community health nurses in China perceived high levels of job stress. The job stress was related to nurses' individual characteristics and work environments. Permanently employed nurses, shift workers, and those older than 45 years age and with less training related to community nursing and involvement in childcare were more likely to experience high levels of stress. Conclusion Reform is required of the community nursing personnel system, and development of continuing education programs and stress‐alleviating measures to reduce community nurses' job stress. The results of this study favour future advanced practice community health nursing practice and education.

Workplace violence towards health workers in hospitals and in mental health units in particular is increasing. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of exposure to violence, job stress, staff resilience, and post-traumatic growth (PTG) on the life satisfaction of mental health nurses. A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of mental health nurses (n = 118) working in a large mental health centre in Israel. Verbal violence by patients was reported by 88.1% of the nurses, and 58.4% experienced physical violence in the past year. Physical and verbal violence towards nurses was correlated with job stress, and life satisfaction was correlated with PTG and staff resilience. Linear regression analyses indicated that life satisfaction was mainly affected by PTG, staff resilience, and job stress, and less by exposure to verbal and physical violence. The present study is the first to show that, although mental health nurses are frequently exposed to violence, their life satisfaction is affected more by staff resilience, PTG, and job stress than by workplace violence. Therefore, it is recommended that intervention programmes that contribute to PTG and staff resilience, as well as those that reduce job stress among mental health nurses, be explored and implemented.
